LIZ: You did take all your stuff out of your bag when we were in the bank, Shamira.
SHAMIRA: Oh yes - so I did!
LIZ: Maybe the passport fell out then?
SHAMIRA: Maybe it did. Perhaps I should phone the bank and see if they’ve found the
passport.
DESK OFFICER: Do feel free to use my phone.
SHAMIRA: Thanks.

Shamira phones the bank to see if they’ve got her passport.
BANK: MegaBank Services. Good morning.
SHAMIRA: Ah, good morning. My name is Shamira Meghani. I was in your bank
earlier this morning and I’m wondering if I dropped my passport while I was there.
Has anybody found a passport, by any chance?
BANK: Hold on a moment - I’ll check for you. [There is a pause] Hello?
SHAMIRA: Hello.
BANK: Yes, one of our customers has just handed a passport in.
SHAMIRA: Oh, thank goodness for that!
BANK: When exactly did you lose your passport?
SHAMIRA: Oh, I didn’t notice until about half an hour ago, but I was in the bank at
about 9.30 this morning.
BANK: Have you lost anything else?
SHAMIRA: Anything else? No ... I don’t think I have.

[The bank official prompts her a bit more]

BANK: Something you used in the bank?

[Shamira looks again in her bag]
SHAMIRA: Oh my God! My chequebook’s gone as well!
BANK: Yes. You left your chequebook on the counter, and the passport was inside.
SHAMIRA: I’ll come and pick them up when I’ve taken the shopping home.
BANK: That’ll be fine. Remember to bring some identification with you.
SHAMIRA: OK. See you in a bit. And thanks.
BANK: See you later.

T: Who wants to be first?

you will write a test.
Good-bye.
